Toall 'whom it may concern.-

Be it'known that I, SCHUYLER G.

My invention relates to cburns, and consists in the construction and novel arrangement of a rotating churn-dasher', designed to impart contrary currents to the cream, thereby quickly .breaking the walls of the butter-cells.

The letter A of the drawing designates the shaft of my dasher, placedvusually in a vertical position, and piroted in a suitable socket in the bottom of the churn.

B B designate triangular frames, attached to the vertical shaft A by passing the horizontal bars thereot through the shaft and fastening the inclined side-bars or beaters C C to the ends vof the horizontal bars and to the sides o'f the shaft A, in the manner shown.

While a downward and outward movement is effected by the other.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The churn-dash herein described, consisting ofecentral shaft A and triangular frames or beaters B B, having alternately their bases reversely placed with respect to each other, and their apices attached to the shaft A, as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above, I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two wit--A ncsses. 4
